INFORMATION FOR OUR CUSTOMERS 
Planting Time 
The season for planting depends upon 
climatic conditions. In the warmer sec- 
tions of the country planting can be done 
from early fall until spring continuing 
throughout the winter months. In north- 
ern Illinois and locations of similar cli- 
mate there are two distinct planting sea- 
sons as follows: 
SPRING SEASON: About April Ist un- 
til May 20th depending upon seasonable 
variations. 
FALL SEASON: From the middle of 
September until the ground freezes, us- 
ually in late November. 
Orders can be placed at any time for 
future delivery. We recommend the plac- 
ing of orders well in advance of ship- 
ping season. Unlike other commodities 
Evergreens cannot be manufactured 
quickly when the supply is gone. There 
are certain quantities available for a par- 
ticular season and many of these items 
sell out as the season progresses. 
It is not necessary to send cash when 
orders are placed in advance. We will 
book the order and notify you so that 
remittance can be sent before the goods 
are shipped. 
Our Guarantee 
We grow our Evergreens by the best 
known methods. We transplant and root 
prune the trees at proper intervals to de- 
velop a fibrous root system. Our trees 
are dug and handled by men of long ex- 
perience. Many conditions over which 
we have no control govern results which 
you may have with Evergreens, such as 
watering, planting site, proper planting, 
soil conditions, injury, or severe adverse 
weather conditions. 
There is, therefore, no guarantee what- 
ever on the growth of the trees. 
Adjustments 
Any errors or omissions in the filling 
of orders will be satisfactorily adjusted if 
we are notified promptly upon receipt of 
shipment. In case of any error on our 
part, it is mutually agreed by the pur- 
chaser and ourselves that we shall not at 
any time be held responsible for a great- 
er amount than the original price of the 
goods, and orders are accepted with this 
understanding. 
Prices 
If no price list accompanies this cat- 
alog, we will gladly mail a current price 
list on request. There are a few items il- 
lustrated which are not grown by the D. 
Hill Nursery Company, but are included 
in the catalog for the benefit of nursery- 
men, landscape gardeners and salesmen, 
who use this catalog as a selling aid. 
Some of these varieties illustrated are 
suitable only for warmer climates, and 
cannot be grown under conditions simi- 
lar to northern Illinois. Prices are estab- 
lished during the summer months and 
apply to orders booked during the fall 
and the following spring. Prices, how- 
ever, are subject to change at any time 
without notice. 
Delivery Charges 
The price quoted includes loading of 
trees on trucks, freight cars, or express 
cars, but does not include transportation 
charges. Freight, express, or parcel post 
charges are at customers’ expense. In the 
absence of definite shipping instructions, 
we will use our best judgment, shipping 
by whatever method is most practical 
in the interests of the customers. Small 
trees not balled and burlapped usually 
can be sent by express. Balled and bur- 
lapped trees can be shipped either by ex- 
press or freight. Arrangements may also 
be made to deliver by. truck at reason- 
able expense to nearby customers. 
Method of Grading 
We conform to the rules of the Amer- 
ican Association of Nurserymen in meth- 
ods of grading Evergreens. For example, 
trees listed as 3 to 4 feet in upright 
growing varieties means that the trees 
will be more than 3 feet, and not more 
than 4 feet measured above the ground, 
not including the earth ball. Average 
size of trees in this grade would be 314 
feet. In the grading of creeping or spread- 
ing trees, sizes such as 1% to 2 feet indi- 
cate that the spread of branches will be 
between these figures. 
Landscape Service 
We do not maintain a landseape serv- 
ice and do not have any landscape archi- 
tects in our employ. Neither do we have 
agents directly representing us. We do, 
however, sell the majority of our prod- 
ucts to local nurserymen, landscape gar- 
deners, florists, and dealers, with whom 
we have no connection whatever except 
as we scll the trees outright to them. 
We will gladly recommend someone in 
your locality, if known to us, or someone 
in a ne urby town who handles our stock 
and who is in a position to serve you in 
your landscape needs.
